A soluble fraction of faba bean protein was conjugated with tannic acid via the free-radical grafting method using a mixture of ascorbic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Surface plasmon resonance showed a strong bonding between them, while the free amino and thiol group measurements indicated tannic acid's bonding with the amino groups and cysteine residues on the proteins. Structural analysis using intrinsic fluorescence and surface hydrophobicity demonstrated tannic acid's interaction with the aromatic and hydrophobic amino acids of the protein.

- COVID-19 can lead to a condition called post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC), or "Long COVID," which commonly includes various sleep disturbances such as insomnia and excessive daytime sleepiness.
- A study involving patients from the Covid Survivorship Program evaluated sleep disorders, resulting in diagnoses like obstructive sleep apnea, chronic insomnia, and REM behavior disorder among others.
- The findings suggest that specific sleep issues are prevalent in individuals with PASC, highlighting the need for thorough sleep assessments for those experiencing severe sleep problems after COVID-19 infection.
The presence of a catheter required for contrast infusion during sialography obscures imaging of the distal duct. Static imaging via cone beam computed tomography and magnetic resonance sialography fails to address changes that occur dynamically to the anatomy of the flexible salivary ductal system. We aim to identify dynamic changes to the parotid gland by introducing a novel approach to analyze the full extent of Stensen's duct based on dynamic infusion digital sialography.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the association of NMV-r in nonhospitalized, vaccinated patients with pre-existing CVD and occurrence of PASC.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study utilizing the TriNetX research network, including vaccinated patients with pre-existing CVD who developed COVID-19 between December 2021 and December 2022.
